女人高科技查岗是男人的两倍_市民英语

    women may struggle with handling the latest technology more often than men--but not when it comes to using it to spy on their husbands, researchers have found. 研究发现,对现代科技不太擅长的女人们,利用科技手段侦查老公却是技高一筹。
    a study of british middle-aged couples found that 14% of wives spy on their husband's emails, 13% read their mobile phone text messages and 10% check web browser logs. 一项针对英国中年夫妇的调查显示,14%的老婆查过老公的电子邮件,13%偷看过老公的短信,10%检查过老公的网络浏览记录。
    this is roughly twice the level of spousal spying that is found among men. 这个数字大概是老公侦查老婆的二倍。
    women are also far better at it than men, the researchers found. it appears that some women develop their it skills simply to improve their surveillance techniques. 研究发现,女人在侦查方面的本事要远远好过男人。似乎有些女人学习it技能仅仅就是为了加强自己的网络监测技术。
    "one of the surprising findings was that spousal surveillance was undertaken more often by wives than husbands," said ellen helsper of the london school of economics and monica whitty of nottingham trent university, who co-authored the research. 英国伦敦政经学院的埃伦·黑尔斯柏与诺丁汉特伦特大学的莫妮卡·维蒂联合进行了该项研究。二人表示,老婆比老公更喜欢监测另一半,这是一个令人吃惊的发现。
    "this contrasts with general research that suggests that women are less technologically skilled than men." “以往的研究表明女人在科技运用方面不如男人,而这项研究却展现出不一样的一面。”
    "it seems that they are able to overcome these barriers when they feel that their relationship is at stake." “当女人深感婚姻面临危机的时候,她们似乎能够克服这种技术上的困难。”
    the researchers wanted to analyse how the internet was affecting long-term relationships and whether couples used it to spy on each other. 研究者试图分析互联网对夫妻关系的影响程度以及是否夫妻会使用网络技术监视彼此。
    they questioned 920 couples with an average age of 49 who had typically been married for about two decades. 共有920对平均年龄49岁、婚龄约20年的夫妇参与了此次调查。
    the study found that only 8% of men read their wives' emails, and 6%-7% of men checked texts and web browser history. 研究发现,仅有8%的老公偷看过老婆的电子邮件,6-7%检查过老婆的短信和网络浏览记录。
    the researchers added: "the findings show that wives were indeed more likely to monitor their husbands' behaviour." 研究者补充,这个发现表明妻子真的比丈夫更喜欢检测对方的一举一动。
